THE OLD AND TIE NEW GOV.
EkNOR.

TIC retirement OF Gov. Bate yes.
teIdsy and the inauguration OF Gov.
Taylor furnishes a striking contrast
between KiDgly and Republican gov
eInments. In the ore, when the
ruler propped up by bayoneis dice,
some sprig Of nobility stands ready to
ascend to the throne, and becomts at
once, by the mere accident OF birth,
the chief ruler OF pe0ple-whether
wise and patriotic or fool and mis-
cresnt, he is invested with royal robes
and imperial power. Bnt in the
American Republic our Governors are
the first choics Of the sovereign people,
elected for designated period, and at
i'e termination surrender TO their
chosen successors all their delegated
trusts, all the insignia OF Office and
again resume their former place
in the peaceful pursuits Of
private life. In compliance with
the methods Of our Republic yester.
day Gov. VIM. b. Bat gracefully laid
aside all vestige OF power and rave
place to his successor. Whether Gov.
Bste is to permanently remain in the
entire s5c'usion of domestic life or to
DO transferred to still wider field OF
honor ana usefulness we do not know.
But this we do know, that he retires
with clean record and that his past
Is secure. Many embarrassment be-
set his pathway, both as candidate
before the people and as Chief Execu-
tive OF the State. But he met them
brsvely, and he retres strong in the
confidence and affections Of the peo
pie, and when the history Of his al
ministration comes to be written it
will place the name OF William B. Bate
conspicuous among the statesmen
and parrots whose ability, integ.
rigty and public services have
shed lus!er and given a historic re-
nown TO the grand Old Commonwealt
of Tennessee. His Gubernatorial
record will size up in comparison with
the records Of his predecessors. 1t has
certainly been honest, wise and sue
csssiul, honorable to himself and con-
duCive to the general prosperity OF
Of the State. Gov. Robert l., Taylor
enters upon his duties under happy
auspices. He Is now the Chief Mag
istrate OF noble Stats. He will have

Luke Andes son, the Desperate,
Captured A Thrilling story.

IbPEOlAL TO THE APPEAL.
CHATTANooGA A, Tenn, January H.
Luke Anderson one of the worst des-
peradoes thst ever infected Middle
Tennessee, WAS captured at an early
hour this morning near Anderson
station, ON the Nashville and Chatta-
noopa railway. The arrest was made
by Detective Elliott of this city, aided
by small posse, aud was attended with
the most thrilling scenes and incidents.
Detective Elliott secured admission to
the house whereAnderson was sleeping
before anyone was aware Of his pres
ence. He was soon discovered by one
OF the dozen men who acted as body
guard 10 the desperado, and when he
started toward the detective, the lat Ter
shot him in the head. At this juncture
the officer found himself surrounded
by friends OF Anderson, but a
doSeD shots fred toward them gave
the Off GER and his posse clear field.
At last, finding that he was cornered
ard all means OF escape cut of, Ar
derson quietly surrendered. He was
brought to this city this afternoon. At
midnight he was conveyed TO VIA
chester and lodged in Jail. Anderson
is about IS years OF aye and has been a
terror in the sections where he lived
ever since his youth. He killed
man eighteen years ago, for which
he was never arrested. Four years
ago he shot and killed young man
named Harris. He shot Capt. Walsh,
Of Stevenson, twice, but the latter re-
covered, and one day split Anderson's
head with Ratchet, yet the rascal
got well, and he has always seemed to
bear q charmed lie. He is wanted
upon three charges of arson.

Need of a Sure "Corn Cure"

ssAny man who wants to make quick
and certain fortune" observed Broad
way druggist the other day. s'can do it
by inventing sure cure for corns. 1t
doesn't matter how many there are,
there's always room for one more.
Corns are universal weakness of the
American people. There isn't day that
I do not have calls for corn cures from
anywhere from so to 150 men, women,
girls and boys. -
SIS there any actual sure cure for
corns?" asked him.
''That depends" said he, 'There is
hardly remedy that would not remove
corns if the people who use it did not
wear shoes. The trouble is that while
they are doctoring the corn they are con-
tinuing the friction and pressure that
originally produced it. But, whether
they cure or not, the good remedies, if
properly applied, keep the corn from in
creasing or hardening and reduce its an
noyance to minimum. There are hun
dreds of people who employ a chiropo-
dist by the year at contract price, and it
is his duty to keep their corns pared down
and their feet in order. The corn cures
enable people who cannot afford this
luxury to care for their own toes. with

Hama Tafe In the Country.

Too MANY Of our farmers homes are
merely 90 in name. They are not homes
only places to stay. Do not think we
are insinuating that you must rush right
off and spend 81 900 in buying new furni-
ture, carpets and an organ. Not at all.
One of the sshomeyest" places we ever
saw was one that was entirely innocenS
of any extravaganza in that line. Three
hundred dollars would have covered the
cost of all the furniture in the house; but
it was place we always enjoyed visit
ing. The head of the family was always
Jolly and ready to take hand in game,
and his nine children, always hearty and
full of fun, and did not care to be out In
the evenings.
The girls did sewing and knitting as
they grew old enough, and the boys were
often found 'smaking something; but
no evening passed that some one did not
have something to read to the others
an anecdote or a story something either
to amuse or instruct. But the main
secret of their happiness, if it was secret,
lay in the fact that worrying and fretting
were banished. One growler or fretter
will spoil whole family. Fathers,
mothers, don't allow fault finding spirit
to spoil the pleasure of your family circle.
Don't indulge in it yourselves. Haye

YOU have not. Rather rejoice in what
you have, and be thankful.-Nationa

A Difference in Peanuts.

There is a vast difference in peanuts.
Some large nuts look very fine, but are
really tasteless. No matter how well
roasted and prepared they may be they
still lack the features of good nut. A
good roaster, like a good cook, must be
born with certain qualifications that can
not be reached by trying to educate him
to it. Some dealers roast the nut too lit
tie and others too much. Roast them
too much and the oil is taken from them,
and if the oil is not properly brought out
the nut has a disagreeable taste. Some
people like peanuts hot, but then they
are very bad for the teeth. Dyspeptics
should eat very few. I find from my
own experience that it would be better
if they did not eat any. The average
peanut eater eats one every minute,
which is entirely too fast.-Peanut Ven-
der in Globe-Democrat.
